You're missing some prerequisite packages (zlib in this case). See 
<https://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/ldm/ldm-current/basics/platform.html> 
for more information.

On CentOS 7, you can install the necessary packages via the yum(1) utility. For 
example:

    sudo yum install zlib-devel

Be sure to install the "devel" version of the packages because only it has the 
necessary header-files.

Steve Emmerson
